S06.E03: Alicia's Story LIVE CHAT

[WhitneyWhit]

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, I have nothing to snark on.

[Guest]

WTF is she eating? A hamburger-patty-chili-salsa-salad?

[poeticlicensed]

2 burgers? She shouldn't be eating red meat at all. Much less 2 burgers

Mr. Whydoiwatch couldn't take it and has retreated to another room to watch something else. I think he has only made it through one episode and that was the one where Lupe broke the toilet.

That’s the only one Mr TTA has watched all the way through too, I think. That one had a special something.

[PeaceLily2]

She chews with her mouth closed!  A first! 

[Carrie]

Hello - buy a food scale!!!

[zoemom]

I know he's older, but Dr. Now has a bit of an odd body.......guess he doesn't need to lose any weight.

I was actually surprised she caved so hard to her cravings, as she's much more mobile and less angry than many of the other participants. Maybe there's some issues behind the scenes, but she's definitely getting a positive edit, so I'm confident she will end up having lost several hundred pounds. The music alone seems to indicate a happy ending.

Maybe I missed this but I don't see any of those nasty lymphodema's.  I don't understand how anyone can walk/exercise with those!

[ShortyMac]

Trouble with portions? Read labels and get a food scale. You're not helpless.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Oh no, I feel like she’s falling back into old habits.

Nice house!

Yes, that's what I thought too.  I wonder why some of them look like they were living in public housing, like Joe and his mom, and then others appear to be living in nice, upper middle-class neighborhoods like Alicia and Tim.

[Azubah]

Wow, what a normal, reasonable discussion between the two of them.

[navine]

she TALKS a good game, but that dinner is most probably NOT on Dr. Now's list of allowable foods/amounts.

[Arynm]

That is too much food, and she knows it or she wouldn't be so defensive

[MegD]

Measure everything and quit giving Tim the side eye when he calls you on your shit!

[Kid]

I am sorry, but her boyfriend does not seem enabling to me.  He is calling her out on what she’s eating. That is not a 400 cal dinner.

[55Unicorns]

She hasn't figured out yet that HER way doesn't WORK....

[MrsRopersCaftan]

If you can afford to move to Houston, you can afford a food scale, Alicia. They’re like $10 at Wallyworld and then there will be no question as to whether or not you’re eating too much.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Honestly, the mobility and lack of lymphodema creates the illusion that she isn't anywhere near 600 lbs. 

The lady last week was only 50-60 lbs more, and she couldn't even walk from the jet way to her seat on the plane.

[PeaceLily2]

Hour 2.....time for boyfriend drama.   

Portion control! 

[zoemom]

Ugh,,, ironic how they always sneak a BFFL commercial during this show....mark my words she'll be visiting Dr. Now one day.  I'd pay good money to watch him take her on!

[Azubah]

I'm guessing each burger patty was about 360 calories, not that I have the calorie count of everything in the universe memorized.

[Miracle Maxie]

The house looks like one someone was in last season. The woman whose niece did all the cooking. I can’t remember her name.

I know several people who have had WLS and they all had to go through about a year of mental and physical evaluations and weight loss goals before they would be approved for surgery.

WHY ISN’T DR. NOW ADDRESSING THEIR MENTAL ISSUES???

It seems irresponsible and unethical to only treat the physical part of their problem and not the mental and emotional component. Every. Single. Person. on this show has past trauma that has led to them being 600+ pounds. And I’m not talking one session with Dr. Baby Voice, either. I’m talking intense therapy.

Dr. Baby Voice hahahaha

[poeticlicensed]

If that's what she's eating in front of Tim and the cameras I can only imagine what's she's eating when no one is around

I don't know that these habits have become " old " yet. I think she's likeable, but still very addicted and not doing so well with her eating - from what we can see anyway.

[PeaceLily2]

Last week at this time Rent-a-friend via Craig’s list was still packing.  

[zoemom]

GO OUTSIDE!!! GET SOME SUNSHINE!!!!

There goes the dining room table....swapped out with the coffee table.....

[Azubah]

Go to a support group. Go to aqua fitness classes. 

[poeticlicensed]

She doesn't look like she lost any weight.

[zoemom]

I don't think that's Dr. Now approved food.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Mr. Judgey “he’s working to support me and I don’t like it.”

[PeaceLily2]

She could be walking and face timing at the same time!

You know, I've wondered about that. A lot of the people say they want a burger, as if they can't have one. Maybe they can't have a burger with a bun and that's what they really want? The diet is low carb and they eat meat - what difference does it make if they eat a beef patty? 

[Guest]

Alicia's  Native American name is Blackfoot Sofa Sitter. 

JESUS! WASH YOUR FEET LADY!

[PeaceLily2]

Damn....dogging on her mom.

Speaking of last week's episode... Wasn't that part 1?  I thought we were going to see part 2 this week? 

[Dianaofthehunt]

If I hear the word "journey" ONE MORE TIME.....

[Kid]

I have news for her, weight-loss surgery is not the end of her journey that’s just the beginning.

Overeaters Anonymous have chapters all over the country.....sure she could find one in Houston to attend.  Get her out of the house, slow down her eating and be with others with the same problems.

[CalpurniaF]

I don't think she's lost 70 lbs.

[PeaceLily2]

Tim’s going to leave.  Betcha.

[whydoiwatch]

Sure didn't look like she lost any weight, but I was hoping..... ugh

[aliya]

She's huge - why isn't she losing any weight? Is she cheating that much? I don't know what's wrong here.

And its free .  She could go to multiple meetings every day!!!

[Miracle Maxie]

What aren’t we seeing? Is she huffing whipped cream like Janine did when the cameras aren’t on?

[zoemom]

Uh Oh......Dr, Now lecture time....

[Threnners]

Just one week I want to watch someone who's actually putting effort into this.

How about "odyssey"?  Ha ha ha.  

[rlc]

Looks like Tim’s lost weight. Guess the diet could work.

[zoemom]

Silly me and I was upset that I ate 1,000 calories today!
